Roaming Profiles with 5 Metaframe servers

[patpoker]

My environment consist of 5 Metaframe servers and 1 file-server which contains the user profiles. When a new user logs in, he`ll get the default profile, and at logoff the profile should be stored. However, often this don`t happen and the user will get the default profile the next time he logs on. There`s nothing wrong with the filepath, after 3 or 4 attemps the profile writes back to the users profile share and after this issue dont occur anymore.

This happens even if the user has logged on to the same Metaframe server every time.

Does anyone recognize this issue? Please advice

I have this problem from time to time with Windows 2000 and service pack 4. Service pack 4 screws up the printer enumeration process and logoffs take a long time up to 60 seconds and the users profile is not saved. I see userenv 1000 errors in the application event log when this happens. The problem is corrected with some patches from Microsoft, I don't remember which ones but if you go here

you will find more info.

If you don't have Windows 2000 SP4 then disregard this post.

Hope this helps,
